In this final sermon as your priest-in-charge, I express my deep gratitude for my time at St. Barnabas and for the wonderful retirement celebration shared with this community. On this Christ the King Sunday, we explore how Jesus redefines kingship not through earthly power, but through the cross and His boundless mercy for the vulnerable. Just as Jesus promised paradise to the criminal beside Him, we are reminded that God’s kingdom is available to us today, offering redemption and connection to all.

Today’s gospel offers a vital word of warning, opportunity, and promise from Jesus, spoken from an apocalyptic perspective to unveil the true nature of our hearts and souls. Loss and change, like my own impending departure from St. Barnabas, inevitably face us and reveal what is true about ourselves. Rather than seeking outside protection or being led astray, Jesus calls us to put our trust in God’s providential hand, enduring trials to gain our souls.

As my time as priest-in-charge concludes, this Remembrance Sunday sermon reflects on the bittersweet experience of doing things for the last time and the spiritual depth found in remembering people who have died. Drawing on the faith of the saints and the promises in Scripture, I explore how the hope offered through Christ’s resurrection strengthens our faith and connects us with the faithful departed. My hope is that this remembrance will nurture us all in faith, hope, and love as we experience God’s presence daily, especially in the Eucharist.
